Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 408: Drag the knife plan

"Hmph! Old man, stop being so arrogant!" Cao Tai, who was in the middle army watching the enemy's plundering formation with his father, said angrily.

Seeing Zhuge Qian leading his men to intercept Guan Yu, he was slashed in front of the formation with his sword in less than a second. The strong-blooded man did not feel scared, but was angered.

With just this few men and horses, he dared to stop the Cao family's army. Even though he was already a trapped beast, he still dared to kill his Wei generals and deceive no one in his army? !

"Father! Please give my child three..."

"shut up!"

As soon as Cao Ren glared, the power of many years of fighting immediately stirred up his son's body. The anger immediately dissipated and he quickly fell silent.

At this time, Cao Ren's face was also ugly, but it was not all because of Zhuge Qian's death.

He had competed with Guan Yu for Jingxiang for so many years, how could he not know that Zhuge Qian was not Guan Yu's opponent?

The reason why he wanted to throw out a huge reward to stimulate Zhuge Qian, who was usually greedy for money, and deliberately acquiesced to his request for a battle and allowed him to lead his troops to kill him, was to explore Guan Yu's current strength.

Even if it fails, it can at least weaken the elite Jingzhou army who came with Guan Yu and prepare for the next plan.

After killing two more people, Guan Yu suddenly turned his horse back and led his army to turn around, as if he was about to withdraw.

But Guan Yu's fighting power was beyond expectations...

If it were him, he wouldn't be able to get away if he was unprepared.

Such Guan Yu immediately made Cao Ren feel powerless, and he could only hope that after Guan Yu killed Zhuge Qian, he would be arrogant and continue to charge towards his central army...

The Wei army, which was being frightened by Guan Yu's astonishing fighting power, was overjoyed and thought that Guan Yu was exhausted.

but……

When he thinks he is invincible, he will easily make rash decisions and make mistakes.

He, Cao Ren, could use the opportunity of his fight with Guan Yu to mobilize his army and kill these Jingzhou elites who were using their arms as chariots.

Until now, everything was basically progressing according to plan.

Secondly... Just as he and Jiang Ji discussed before the war, the best way to deal with a headstrong and arrogant person is to be a little more arrogant and arrogant.

During this period, many archers in the army secretly fired arrows at him, but he did not know where he got the armor. The bows and arrows shot at him fell to the ground one after another, unable to hurt him at all.

Cao Ren is also an expert, so he can naturally see that Guan Yu put a lot of effort into how to use this strange weapon.

If Guan Yu can be killed, it would be best to accomplish his feat in one battle.

Cao Ren commanded the mobilization of military formations, trying to encircle Guan Yu's men and horses, but the opponent relied on the sharpness of his horses and sharp swords to rush left and right with his troops like a python diving into water, and was always able to rush out before the Wei army formed an encirclement.

The old rival abandoned his usual horse-drawn sword and went to the battlefield carrying a strange-shaped long-handled sword. However, he did not expect that the sword was so sharp that if he dared to block it head-on, he would be destroyed.

But you can’t fucking die like this? !
After all, he was a general who had fought with him for many years. Although his combat power was not outstanding, he could resist Guan Yu for a while.

The sword technique is fierce and fierce, especially the first sword when fighting the enemy. It is really powerful and unstoppable by ghosts and gods.

Fast horses, magic weapons, precious armor, and superb martial arts.

And that time was when Cao Ren took off Guan Yu's head in one fell swoop!
For this reason, it is completely acceptable to sacrifice some soldiers and kill one or two generals who have nothing to do with the overall situation.

Ok?
Just when Cao Ren thought of this, Guan Yu, who was leading his men to fight over there, made a new move.

Yes, you are already old, and your iconic long beard has turned gray. The magic weapon armor is naturally very heavy. How can you not be tired after fighting for a long time?

If you want to leave, there is no way!
The Wei army approaching Guan Yu suddenly felt as if they were beaten to death, especially Zhuge Qian's cavalry, which was chasing after him.

Looking at Guan Yu's big sword hanging down, it seems that he really can't lift the sword anymore. He bends down and lowers his head, just letting his horse run for his life.

"Old man, don't leave! Give me your life as a general!" Zhuge Qian's adjutant chased after him. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Guan Yu, he also showed an excited smile on his face.

It seems that not only Guan Yu is old, but the legendary red rabbit and horse are also too old to run anymore.

Seeing the two horses getting closer and closer, he thrust his gun straight into Guan Yu's heart!

"General Zhuge, you can rest in peace. Today is the day when I will step on you and rise to the top with Guan Yu!" However, the adjutant, who was so happy in his heart, had a smile on his face the next moment.

The Red Rabbit horse suddenly jumped to the side. After the adjutant shot the horse in the air, the Red Rabbit's speed dropped sharply again, catching him off guard.

Guan Yu, who seemed to be exhausted at first, suddenly turned around, his eyes were as bright as lightning, but there was no trace of fatigue at all.
I saw the drooping blade suddenly raised, slashing across a month and a half.

puff!
The sword slashed at an angle and chopped off the adjutant's head and half of his shoulder, as neatly as chopping melons and vegetables. The corpse fell from the horse and blood flowed like a stream.

The Wei army, who were still pursuing fiercely, turned pale with fright. Even some of the horses that were close stood up and neighed, daring not to pursue any more.

"Hahahaha!" Guan Yu's loud laughter was like another knife, cutting hard into their hearts, but no one dared to act rashly, allowing Guan Yu to lead his army to break through...

Everyone thought that Guan Yu's laughter was a ruthless mockery of them. Unfortunately, no one knew that the elderly Han Dynasty general did not take them seriously at all.

The laughter at this time actually had another reason.

"Hmm... What did Adou call this move before? Dragging the knife... dragging the knife tactic? Yes, haha, what a dragging knife tactic. This is a very clever strategy, this tactic is very wonderful!"

Guan Yu, who couldn't help laughing, was obviously very satisfied with Adou Xin's move, which had the same effect as the carbine.

……

Guan Yu succeeded in breaking through, but the Wei soldiers did not dare to pursue him due to the shock caused by this stunning sword.

Naturally, his sudden retreat was not because he was really exhausted, but because his tactical purpose of containing the main force of Cao's army had been achieved.

A general who is not afraid of death and can fight and rush can only be qualified to become a fierce general.

A qualified coach is one who can accurately grasp the opportunity on the ever-changing battlefield and guide the battle situation to the direction of victory through each command.

As for Guan Yu, he has both.

Even when Zhuge Qian was killed in formation, using his own huge value as bait, and using a small number of Jingzhou elites to hold off Cao's army in the critical moment of fighting, he still used the gaps to pay attention to the changes on the other side of the battlefield.

Although Chang Diao's soldiers were not considered idiots, the general made it clear that reinforcements would arrive as long as he persisted.

As a result, after a bloody battle for a long time, our own reinforcements did not come, but someone else's reinforcements arrived...

Morale was hit, and the local strength disadvantage further widened. Chang Diao's defense line finally couldn't hold on, and began to leak air everywhere like a broken house.

Fortunately, Chang Diao did not sit still in the face of the change in occupation. After judging that there was a problem with the main force, he immediately decided to make a desperate move and led the army to break out of the bloody battle.

He succeeded.

Before Guan Ping's troops completely cut off his retreat, Chang Diao finally broke out of the encirclement at the cost of nearly a thousand men and horses. He was hit by two spears and an arrow and was seriously injured.

Guan Ping, who knew that his father was still taking risks to intercept Cao's army, did not pursue him anymore. After defeating Chang Diao's tribe, he began to gather troops and prepared to attack the main force of Cao's army.

It was under this situation that Guan Yu chose to break out.

"...Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"

The morale of Cao Ren's army was damaged and it was not suitable for a decisive battle with the Jingzhou army at this time. Although Cao Ren still had thousands of elite cavalry under his command, he did not want to take risks as he had backup.

The Wei army, leaving behind thousands of corpses, retreated.

After a small victory, the Jingzhou army was elated and their morale reached its peak again...

"Father is brave. Our army has won this battle. Cao Ren will no longer be suspicious in the future." Guan Ping could not hide his joy.

Guan Yu, on the other hand, didn't seem to have much emotional fluctuations. He just stroked his long beard, looked back at the direction of Cao's army's retreat and said calmly: "Even if Cao Ren falls into the trap, the outcome of life and death still depends on strength."

Even with all the arrangements, according to his calculations and combined with the intelligence previously sent by Jiangdong, Cao Ren should have more than these troops.

What's more, now that the west has captured Longyou, Cao Pi will definitely sacrifice the east to save the west.

Whether they can capture Fancheng, severely injure Cao Ren, and successfully contain Cao Pi here... depends on whether the entire strategic "drag knife plan" can be successful.
